Heavenly Dragon Doctor Son-in-Law-Chapter 173 - 174: Prepare a Hundred Million as a Meeting Gift for Me!

Chapter 173: Chapter 174: Prepare a Hundred Million as a Meeting Gift for Me!

Tang Yuxiang wore an incredulous look as he clenched his fists.

"Say one more word, and I’ll strip you of your inner court privileges right now!" Old Master Tang roared again.

"This..." Though fuming, Tang Yuxiang forcibly suppressed his rage.

Tang Chuchu shot him a look, signaling him to keep quiet. Now that Tang Xuewu has snatched the partnership, why offend them further? She was deeply disappointed in her brother for his lack of mettle. Why provoke Qin Long now and incur Grandfather’s wrath?

"Let the banquet begin!" Old Master Tang announced. Then, looking at Tang Xuewu with a kind expression, he said, "Xuewu, bring this roasted lamb leg to Qin Long."

"Yes! Thank you, Grandpa." Seeing her grandfather take the initiative to show goodwill, Tang Xuewu was both surprised and pleased.

The banquet soon drew to a close. This event marked a turning point for Tang Xuewu’s family. In the past, they were either mocked at these gatherings or simply not invited at all. The Tang Family often treated her family like a laughingstock, openly making Qin Long the butt of their jokes. But today, no one dared to speak ill of them.

Just as everyone was preparing to head home, Tang Yuxiang, who had had quite a bit to drink, staggered over to Qin Long. "Qin Long, I have something to tell you."

"If you have something to say, spit it out!" Qin Long retorted coldly.

"Qin Long, you motherfucker!" Tang Yuxiang’s face flushed with anger. He sneered, "It’s about Wang Ming and Xuewu. Listen or don’t, I don’t care."

Hearing this, Qin Long frowned and stopped in his tracks.

"Long, don’t bother with that drunkard. Let’s go home," Tang Xuewu urged, her brow furrowed.

"It’s fine. I want to see what this kid is up to." Qin Long gently pinched Tang Xuewu’s face, then slowly walked toward Tang Yuxiang with his cane.

"Out with it," Qin Long said, his voice laced with impatience.

"Qin Long, don’t be fooled because Grandpa is being nice to you now. In his heart, he’s long considered Wang Ming his grandson-in-law. He will never allow Xuewu to marry you!" Tang Yuxiang declared, an arrogant, smug smile spreading across his lips. "It’s not that I’m sure; it’s that Grandpa never even considered you a candidate. In the end, Xuewu can only marry Wang Ming!

"Let me tell you a secret. That ten million yuan you returned to Wang Ming back then? It was given to Grandpa as a betrothal gift instead. It’s sitting in the Tang Family’s warehouse right now. As soon as Xuewu marries him, that ten million will officially belong to the Tang Family."

Tang Yuxiang looked triumphant, all his earlier frustration washed away.

"The old man accepted it?" Qin Long asked, his brow immediately furrowing.

"Of course! A ten-million-yuan betrothal gift? What family wouldn’t be tempted? Who has a grudge against money? You think he’d turn down Young Master Wang’s gift in favor of your cane?" Tang Yuxiang’s expression was thick with mockery.

Qin Long simply smiled faintly and waved his hand. "A mere ten million? That’s just a drop in the ocean."

Hearing this, Tang Yuxiang burst into roaring laughter. "A drop in the ocean? Not a sum a poor schmuck like you could ever come up with." He swayed drunkenly, took a long drag from his cigarette, and sneered.

"You’ll regret this, kid." Qin Long shot him a cold look before turning and slowly walking away with his cane.

"Me, regret it? Ha! We’ll see who the fuck regrets this in the end!" Tang Yuxiang yelled, then climbed into a Mercedes-Benz and sped away.

As soon as Qin Long got into the car, Tang Xuewu began to console him. "Don’t take what Tang Yuxiang said seriously."

"He said that Wang Ming has already given the Tang Family a ten-million-yuan betrothal gift," Qin Long stated, laying out the stark truth. "They’re just waiting for you to marry into the Wang Family."

"A ten-million-yuan betrothal gift?" Upon hearing this, Tang Xuewu was stunned. Even though I’m not a materialistic person, a ten-million-yuan gift is incredibly generous! Probably no one else in all of Jiangzhong would offer something so lavish.

"A gift like that is indeed extraordinary. In Jiangzhong, only a handful of people could likely offer it," Qin Long said, looking at Tang Xuewu with utmost determination. "But I will give you the number one betrothal gift in all of Jiangtian Province."

"This..." Tang Xuewu’s cheeks flushed red. She lowered her head and retorted indignantly, "Who wants to marry you? Stop being so conceited..."

"You can only marry me in this life.

"You are destined to be my, Qin Long’s, woman!

"The woman I have set my eyes on, who would dare to bully her? Who would dare to marry her!"

His tone was domineering, filled with absolute conviction. Tang Xuewu stole a glance at him, feeling the immense force of his determination and overbearing presence. Flustered, she quickly changed the subject.

"Qin Long, tell me, do you know people from the Jiangzhong underworld? Otherwise, why would Yan Hong have let you go so easily back then? And Li Min is notoriously fiery; why would she kowtow and apologize to you? Also, today Li Cong was obviously trying to curry favor with you by bringing that partnership to the Tang Family... Do you know a big shot in the Jiangzhong underworld?" Tang Xuewu bombarded him with a flurry of questions.

For a moment, Qin Long was at a loss for how to answer. "I need to go out for a bit. When I get back, I’ll tell you everything," he said, waving his hand helplessly as he looked at her.

"Mhm, okay." Tang Xuewu didn’t press him further.

「In a top-tier Western restaurant in Jiangzhong.」

Within the most exclusive private room, Qin Long and Xiao Lingyue were in deep conversation. Nearby, Qing’er and her sisters stood guard, vigilantly watching their surroundings.

"Brother Long, what can I do for you?" Xiao Lingyue asked gently, pouring him a glass of water as she ate.

"My Golden Dragon Card is temporarily unusable, to avoid attracting Qiu Hu’s attention," Qin Long said slowly after taking a sip of water. "Prepare a betrothal gift for me."

"The betrothal gift for Miss Xuewu?" Xiao Lingyue asked directly. "Just name the amount."

"Wang Ming has already prepared ten million," Qin Long said with a faint smile, picking up a piece of mango. "Yue’er, what do you think would be a suitable amount?"

Xiao Lingyue’s delicate brows furrowed in thought. After a moment, she said, "Brother Long, how about one hundred million?"

"Good." Qin Long gave her a satisfied thumbs-up. A betrothal gift of one hundred million. Even in all of Jiangtian Province, that would be number one, wouldn’t it?

"I understand, Brother Long. Rest assured, leave the rest to me," Xiao Lingyue promised, patting her chest confidently.

"Use old banknotes. I want to use cash to completely dumbfound the Tang Family! I’m going to utterly crush them with money!"

Qin Long’s tone was incredibly arrogant. Anyone else who heard him would have thought he was just showing off. But Xiao Lingyue understood. She knew that this man leaning on a cane had once stood at the very pinnacle of glory in this world.

He was the Commander of the Southern Heavenly Dragon Army, holding power over a million Heavenly Dragons, his authority vast and unstoppable. In his hand, the Punishment Sword could sever all injustice, standing above the law itself.
